Description

One of the best-kept secrets on South Africas East Coast"
Areena Riverside Resort is situated on the banks of the Kwelera
tidal river, 23 km's east of East London city centre, at the beginning of the
Cape Wild Coast.

The dream of Ed and Karen Rathbone to have a unique family
resort became a reality some 23 years ago and soon grew from strength to
strength.

After a lot of hard work and dedication, the Caravan Park en Camping
was voted S.A. Top Resort 2004, after gaining public interest and became the
hideout for those wanting to experience quality family time in the heart of
nature.
The Areena is Three Star and AA Highly Recommended where you
can wake up to the calls of the Fish Eagles.

Wildly Peaceful"

We offer you unsurpassed views of the river, wildlife, birds, and surrounding
wild coast vegetation where cruises to the river mouth and beach can be
arranged.

You can virtually fish from your tent on river front sites,
and also park your boat along the jetty directly in front of you.

Most
early mornings will provide you with a spectacular visit of buck, monkeys and
dassies on the other side of the river.

Access to the beach is either by
boat, river ferry, or a short trip by car. For the energetic, an interesting
hike.
